Notes / Commercial Description:
Gubna was bred from Oskar Blues Brewery’s hankering to confront 100+ IBUs by cranking up the complexity of hops by pouring Cascade on top of copious amounts of Summit, then balancing that with a backbone of German Dark Munich Malt and Rye Malt. GUBNA’s post-fermentation dry-hopping with both hops allows this monstrosity to gently coax the citrus rind and grapefruit aroma while providing a rye malt-induced, spicy-yet-round middle, and a brisk, clean bitter finish (10 percent ABV, 100+ IBUs).

Can poured into a tulip, the appearance was hazy burnt golden orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Some light lace.
The aroma had some mango/papaya super sweetness rolling over a sturdy caramel/toffee malt base. Some crackery type of arrangement playing with some marmalade sweetness.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the prior mentioned aromas guiding the aftertaste to be fairly malty.
The palate was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV did feel appropriate.
Overall, so many DIPA's on the market these days which makes me think well, maybe this is one of those "old school DIPA's."

4x12 of 3 week-old cans for $13.99. Can poured into willy glass. Super clear, golden-amber with a finger of white head that leaves spotty lace. Smell is a mix of citrus rind, pineapple syrup, pine and malt. Taste follows with a big helping of malt and some citrusy tones. Mouth is medium-full, fairly soft and good carbonation. Overall, I'm glad I tried this. It's good and really packs a wallop.

T/F: Rich and malty.. caramel and bread to open. Gives way to a tropical fruit hop profile... mango and grapefruit, pineapple... peppery. Resinous and sticky... definitely coats the tongue. Warming... the ABV is hidden but this hits you fast. Dried pineapple on the aftertaste.

O: A big, big DIPA from Oskar Blues. Wish my can was fresher (just purchased at Wegman's... saw that it's 9 months old... strong work guys) but held up very well. A slow sipper of an IPA that has a ton of flavor.

Pours a cloudy orange with an eggshell colored head that fades fast leaving excellent lacing behind.
Smells like grapefruit and pine.
Tastes is just about the same.
This is smooth, almost creamy in the way it goes down. ABV is well hidden, but shows up quickly.
This is just another terrific brew from Oskar Blues. You can't go wrong with this.
